Preview the score here Download the digital sheet music here COMPOSER'S NOTE At the suggestion of Michael Hampel, Precentor of St Paul's Cathedral, I have set words by Robert Bridges, who was Poet Laureate from 1913-1930. Bridges was an outstanding humanitarian and writer, whose poetry has inspired me before in The Voice of Desire, a song-cycle for mezzo-soprano and piano. This short, fast-tempo setting aims to emulate the swift, fleet-footed rhyme and metre of the two-verse poem, with its unobtrusive but telling reference to 'man in his hasty days'. J.W. Commissioned by the Chapter of St Paul's Cathedral to mark the 90th birthday of HM The Queen, generously supported by the Boltini Trust. Performed at the National Service of Thanksgiving for HM The Queen's birthday at St Paul's Cathedral, London, on Friday 10th June 2016 in the presence of HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. Music by Judith Weir, Master of the Queen's Music, words by Robert Bridges, Poet Laureate in the year HM The Queen was born. Duration c. 3½ minutes I LOVE ALL BEAUTEOUS THINGS words by Robert Bridges OM (1844-1930) Poet Laureate 1913-30 I love all beauteous things, I seek and adore them - God hath no better praise, And man in his hasty days Is honoured for them. I too will something make And joy in the making - Altho' to-morrow it seem Like the empty words of a dream Remembered on waking. (I love all beauteous things, etc…)/ Feuillet / Choeur Mixte (SATB) et Orgue

Par DEARMER PERCY / VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Un favori ferme avec des choeurs pendant de nombreuses années, il s'agit d'une collection classique des chants traditionnels. Au cours des cinquante années écoulées depuis sa mort, Vaughan Williams est venu à être considéré comme l'un des meilleurs compositeurs britanniques du 20e siècle. Il dispose d'un catalogue particulièrement vaste d'oeuvres, y compris les oeuvres chorales, symphonies, concertos et opéras. Ses recherches et son imagination visionnaire, combiné avec une flexibilité dans l'écriture pour tous les niveaux de la création musicale, a signifié que sa musique est aussi populaire aujourd'hui qu'il l'a jamais été./ Recueil / Chant
